    I've got a rash of inbox questions like "is it weird if I prefer sleeping alone to sleeping next to my partner" and I'm here to say: SLEEPING ALONE IS GREAT SO GREAT YOU ARE NOT WEIRD TO LIKE IT (OR IF YOU ARE, IT'S AN OK AMOUNT OF WEIRD)

        The older I get the more true this becomes: I can happily share a bed for awake-times I can even fall asleep with my beloved If I want to *stay* asleep, I absolutely need to be alone.

        Figuring out we could have separate duvets/comforters was a game changer.

        I did this with my ex and it was SO MUCH BETTER. Especially as someone who wakes easily with movement in the bed.

        This! I am a restless sleeper, he has insomnia and has trouble returning to sleep if woken. Separate bedrooms probably saved our marriage.

      1. but why tho‏ @do_not_drown 21 Sep 2020
        Replying to @CAwkward

        Most couples I know have a point where they have opposite schedules, sleeping issues, health issues, etc and end up sleeping apart. Sometimes it’s permanent or long term, sometimes intermittent or as needed. I think it’s very, very common, we just feel embarrassed to say it.

        The older I get, the more I like the concept of "an ok amount of weird".

        My husband and I had a conversation early-ish in our relationship where we determined that our preferred sleeping style is "I love you, don't touch me". We cuddle for 5-10 minutes, then go to our respective sides of the bed and sleep separately.pic.twitter.com/M06UnzicwB
